Precision Lapping & Deburring Machines

Curtis Assemble & Test Ltd (CAT) design and build precision lapping and deburring machines to meet the demanding requirements of the automotive and advanced manufacturing industries. Our automated systems remove micro burrs, improve surface finishes, and ensure every component meets strict quality standards.

Using robotic handling and advanced vision systems, our lapping and deburring solutions deliver consistent, repeatable results with full process monitoring and traceability.

How Our Systems Work

⚙️ Automated Part Handling – Components are picked from input pallets and inspected by a camera system to verify orientation and alignment. If required, the robot automatically flips the part before placing it on the lapping table.

⚙️ Precision Lapping Process – A second robot applies a controlled downward force and performs a figure-of-eight lapping motion. Multiple steps can be programmed to control lapping radius, speed, applied load, and the number of laps for precise, repeatable finishes.

⚙️ Quality Assurance – If a part fails inspection, the system uses a vacuum gripper to segregate defective components, ensuring they are stored separately from compliant parts.
